ALBUM NEWS:

A whole lot of Album News as 2024 kicks off, so let’s dive right in!

SUZY BOGGUSS ALBUM:

Prayin’ For Sunshine marks the first time Suzy Bogguss has written an entire album. The impetus for this collection arose during the global lockdown in 2020, a period where Suzy reflected on her journey and felt compelled to share her experiences with her devoted audience. Recorded at her long-time Tennessee home, the album captures the raw essence of southern storytelling and the authentic roots of Americana music. The tracks, ranging from the heartfelt homage “Paint the Town Blue,” celebrating her hometown, to “Sunday Birmingham,” a road song expressing a longing for respite on tour, encapsulate a rich tapestry of personal introspection and captivating narratives. “It All Falls Down To The River” delves deep into the intricate facets of American history, accompanied by soul-stirring gospel harmonies from the McCrary Sisters. Suzy’s initial solitary work laid the foundation for a deeply personal musical journey leading to Prayin’ For Sunshine becoming an endeavor of collaborative creativity. Adding a crack four-piece band of great session musicians and friends created a synergy and camaraderie elevating the record and infusing it with warmth and a sense of familial spirit. Prayin’ For Sunshine has already received critical acclaim with Music Row highlighting the “captivating” focus track “It All Falls Down To The River” and American Songwriter adding that the song is a “lyrical gut-punch…painting a powerful picture.” https://www.suzybogguss.com. @SuzyBogguss


CHARLES ESTEN ALBUM:

With his highly anticipated independent debut album, Love Ain’t Pretty, out January 26, multi-talent Charles Esten is revealing the true dichotomy of matters of the heart with two new releases from the full-length project. Available across all streaming platforms and digital retailers, listen to “Make You Happy” and “When Love Ain’t Love” here: https://ffm.to/ce-2pack.   Vividly detailed and filled with the emotional daring of a celebrated storyteller – both onscreen and onstage – Esten dives into wide-ranging themes of earth-shattering romance, big-picture reflection, and beyond, in Love Ain’t Pretty. Spotlighted as the High Note in Nashville Lifestyles’ The Music Issue on stands now, the diverse and richly textured full-length project was also just featured by GRAMMY.com and Parade. In addition, it’s been spotted on anticipated albums of 2024 lists by The Tennessean, STEREOGUM, Men’s Journal, and Taste of Country. More than 10 years in the making, Esten explores life, love, and the passing of time through the lens of a traveled and tested everyman, who has never lost his innate sense of wonder, or his wide-open soul, with a rollout of already released songs including “One Good Move,” “A Little Right Now,” “In A Bar Somewhere,” “Down The Road (feat. Eric Paslay),” and “Somewhere In The Sunshine.”  Celebrating Love Ain’t Pretty with an album release show at Exit/In on January 26, limited tickets are remaining.

GEORGE DUCAS ALBUM:

It isn’t often when a country singer has the rock-solid guts of Dust Bowl reveries, the jacked-up locomotion of the early Bakersfield country sound and the more modern-minted energy of Los Angeles’ honky-tonk hijinks all rolled into one righteous attack. But that’s George Ducas’ soul to share. On his new album, Long Way From Home, there is a distinct feeling of a new history being born. Maybe that’s because Ducas is able to seamlessly connect all those elements with such a natural flair that it can be a bit overwhelming when the sound is flying at full-tilt. On his previous albums it was obvious that something serious has always been happening with the man’s music. It could be felt in the rhythms the songs featured, in the lyrics of someone who takes songwriting seriously, and maybe most of all in the voice of an all-time great country music singer. Ducas has had multiple Billboard chart hits of his own, including the breakout Top 10 “Lipstick Promises”, and has even written hit records for all-timers like George Jones, Garth Brooks, The Chicks, and Trisha Yearwood and been nominated for a Grammy Award, but – teaming with Platinum producer/guitar player Pete Anderson – he’s never made an album like Long Way From Home.

ELVIE SHANE ALBUM:

Full of unflinching honesty rooted in compassionate clarity, BBR Music Group/Wheelhouse Records singer/songwriter Elvie Shane delivers his most daring work yet with his forthcoming sophomore album Damascus releasing April 19th, available for pre-order/pre-save/pre-add here: https://elvieshane.lnk.to/DamascusPR.  With each track stepping into the shoes of another, Shane takes pieces of each character he’s met on his path, melding them into one beautifully woven work. Shane co-wrote all songs on the project produced by his frequent collaborator, Oscar Charles. “I feel like I’ve grown a lot since ‘Backslider.’ I’ve attained just about everything I ever dreamed of…seen the world and made a living with music. I’ve been on top and back down in the mud,” said Shane. “In that travel and experience, I’ve paid close attention to people more than anything. I’ve seen a lot of struggle, but in that struggle I found common ground and inspiration. ‘Damascus’ is a record that aims to pick a fight with what holds people down. Normal every day Blue Collar America…my people.” He’s given listeners a taste of the project with releases of “Baptized,” “Jonesin’” and “Forgotten Man” and with his latest track “Pill.”  Shane hits the road on The Damascus Acoustic Stories Tour, a 10-stop intimate tour starting Feb 1 in Louisville, KY.

AMERICAN IDOL ALUM NEWS:

19 Recordings/BMG artist Colin Stough starts the new year off with a powerful message of resilience, as he offers up a fresh rendition of one of his biggest hits with “I Still Talk To Jesus (Acoustic).” Available across all streaming platforms and digital retailers, listen here: https://colinstough.lnk.to/isttja.  A Country-Rock ballad of unshakable hope, “I Still Talk To Jesus” was originally part of Stough’s standout time on ABC’s American Idol in 2022. Eventually finishing third on Season 21, Stough released the aching anthem alongside his fellow Top 5 finalists, showing fans a moving example of inner toughness – and one heart’s weary-yet-determined refusal to give up on love. Produced by Sean Rogers, Stough’s new acoustic take of the track further highlights that message. Using only guitar to back his dynamic Mississippi vocal, the rising star dials down his million-watt intensity for a captivating blend of wounded soul and falsetto grit, cutting straight to heart of one of his most popular songs. Meanwhile, a raw performance of the all-natural track – penned by Stough, Sean Thomas Rogers, and Francisco Martin – was captured and edited by Mike Rodway. Spending last year headlining while also supporting artists like Kidd G and Drake White, he’s next on deck with Chase Matthew starting in February.

Putting truth to the viral rumors, Joe Bonsall, tenor singer for fifty years for The Oak Ridge Boys, has officially announced his plans to retire from touring. During a December 30th concert in Greenville, Mississippi, Duane Allen, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban introduced Ben James (Doyle Lawson, Dailey & Vincent) to an enthusiastic audience at Harlow’s Casino Resort. Bonsall said in part: “Many of you know I have been battling a slow onset (over four years now) of a neuromuscular disorder. I am now at a point where walking is impossible, so I have basically retired from the road. It has just gotten too difficult. It has been a great 50 years, and I am thankful to all the Oak Ridge Boys, band, crew, and staff for the constant love and support shown to me through it all… There is a young man named Ben James singing for me out there, and he needs your love and encouragement … his sound is different than mine, but he brings a ton of talent to the table! The Oak Ridge Boys will finish the Farewell Tour without me, but rest assured, I am good with all of it! God’s Got It!!!” Ben James was no stranger to The Oak Ridge Boys, being introduced to them in 2022 during a concert in Wheeling, West Virginia, where Daily & Vincent were also on the bill.

ELVIS NEWS: 

The new Memphis Rock Recordings by John Krondes with all the original Elvis Presley musicians and singers are overawing the entertainment world and once again filling the airwaves with that unmistaken, incomparable, and adored harmonious Memphis Sound. “The End” is a New Beginning for Elvis Presley, music lovers, and The Memphis Sound.  Elvis Presley’s Best Friend, Best Man, and Road Manager Joe Esposito discovered John Krondes, managed the Elvis Hit Making Team project until his passing in 2016, and proclaimed: “The John Krondes music breathes new life for Elvis.” It all started with “The End” and Joe Esposito was there.  Elvis Presley sang “The End” a/k/a “At The End Of A Rainbow” to Priscilla Beaulieu on the night they met in Germany.  Esposito was one of Elvis Presley’s friends singing harmony with him on “The End” to the 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu. The magical Elvis and Priscilla love story began with “The End”.   It was co-written by John Krondes’ father Jimmy Krondes in 1958. This new recording has come full circle to become the song that would bring the Elvis Presley music entourage back to the studio to make nearly 100 of the first new recordings since 1977 with Singer/Songwriter John Krondes.

SINGLE NEWS:

“Please! Please! Please!” – the new single from Ty Stonehawker – is a soulful, hoot-and-holler telltale.  “This track feels like ‘O Brother Where Art Thou’ meets Mumford & Sons,” said the Portland, Oregon-based singer songwriter. “It’s a true ’lemons into lemonade’ story; I wrote this one while sitting in jail. The lyrics are a tell-all.“  Listen here: https://www.tystonehawker.com/music.  Embracing a tumultuous personal chapter of Stonehawker’s life and rustic roots, the evocative musical narrative unfolds with a raw authenticity to merge seamlessly with upbeat, barn-burning bluegrass instrumentation.

Stonehawker’s gravelly vocals, supported by a rolling rhythm section, portray a weariness sustained by a spirited and jovial thread of hope to return to the familiar, and comforting arms of home and loved ones. “Please! Please! Please!” was written by Ty Stonehawker and produced by Mike “Mooka” Rennick. The song is set for release Jan 26 with a new album – Gamblin’ Man – coming soon.
